Marketplace

Purpose

Browse and deploy VM templates and blueprints — search, OS and category filters, favorites, AI draft assist, and a deploy wizard.

When to use it

  • Find a golden image or workload template to deploy
  • Filter by OS family or marketplace category
  • Deploy a template into a namespace via the wizard
  • Generate a draft template from a natural-language prompt (when AI is configured)

How to get there

  • Route: /marketplace
  • Nav: Modules → Marketplace
  • Related: /templates, /blueprints, /image-factory, /vms

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /marketplace from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Browse and deploy VM templates and blueprints — search, OS and category filters, favorites, AI draft assist, and a deplo….
  3. Use the center’s primary CTA (create, scan, open workbench, ask Zeus when reasoning is required).
  4. Deterministic navigation and filters call the router directly — do not round-trip those through Ask Zeus.
  5. Pin frequent pages to Favorites (/favorites).
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Browse and deploy VM templates and blueprints — search, OS and category filters, favorites, AI draft.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.

Use https://<host>:30050/ (NodePort) or your ingress URL — never publish lab IPs. HTTPS is required for in-browser VNC. Browse lists are safe; power actions live on workbenches.
